1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionLong non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play a vital role in human carcinogenesis. HOXA cluster antisense RNA 2 (HOXA-AS2), a 1048-bp lncRNA located between the HOXA3 and HOXA4 genes, is identified as an oncogene in several malignancies, including glioma. However, the biological functions of HOXA-AS2 and its underlying molecular mechanisms in glioma progression remain to be investigated.

methodThe expression of HOXA-AS2 and RND3 mRNA was determined using qRT-PCR analysis. The protein level of RND3 and EZH2 was measured by Western blot analysis. The biological function of HOXA-AS2 or RND3 in glioma was detected by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assays, transwell assay, and flow cytometry. Dual-luciferase reporter, RIP, RNA-protein pull down and ChIP assays were performed to explore the molecular mechanism of HOXA-AS2 in glioma. The effect of HOXA-AS2 in vivo was examined using xenograft tumor assay.

resultsHOXA-AS2 expression was increased in glioma tissues and cells. High HOXA-AS2 expression was associated with larger tumor size and advanced pathological stage. Functionally, knockdown of HOXA-AS2 suppressed cell proliferation and invasion, and promoted apoptosis. Mechanically, HOXA-AS2 epigenetically inhibited RND3 transcription by binding to EZH2. Moreover, overexpression of RND3 exerted similar tumor-suppressive effects to the depletion of HOXA-AS2. Furthermore, the anti-cancer effects induced by si-HOXA-AS2 were greatly reversed by silencing of RND3. Finally, knockdown of HOXA-AS2 impaired tumor growth in vivo possibly via increasing RND3 expression.

conclusionTaken together, HOXA-AS2 recruits EZH2 to the promoter region of RND3 and inhibits its expression, thereby facilitating glioma progression. Our findings provide a prospective therapeutic strategy for glioma intervention.
